From 1e2a8041d055eececce53b88dac5e6dd58f15512 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wpaul Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2000 20:41:03 +0000 Subject: Add driver support for the Aironet 4500/4800 series wireless 802.11 NICs. (Finally!) The PCMCIA, ISA and PCI varieties are all supported, though only the ISA and PCI ones will work on the alpha for now. PCCARD, ISA and PCI attachments are all provided. Also provided an ancontrol(8) utility for configuring the NIC, man pages, and updated pccard.conf.sample. ISA cards are supported in both ISA PnP and hard-wired mode, although you must configure the kernel explicitly to support the hardwired mode since you have to know the I/O address and port ahead of time. Special thanks to Doug Ambrisko for doing the initial newbus hackery and getting it to work in infrastructure mode. --- release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT | 3 +++ release/texts/alpha/RELNOTES.TXT | 6 ++++++ release/texts/i386/HARDWARE.TXT | 3 +++ release/texts/i386/RELNOTES.TXT | 6 ++++++ 4 files changed, 18 insertions(+) (limited to 'release') diff --git a/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT b/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT index 18d2c7a..c9517cb 100644 --- a/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT +++ b/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT @@ -635,3 +635,6 @@ Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA and ISA standard speed ISA versions of these adapters are actually PCMCIA cards combined with an ISA to PCMCIA bridge card, so both kinds of devices work with the same driver. + +Aironet 4500/4800 series 802.11 wireless adapters.
